Nominations for Green Building Awards due Friday

If you’re planning to nominate someone for a Green Building Award, the deadline to turn in the paperwork to the San Antonio Office of Environment Policy is this Friday, May 18.

According to a news release, there are awards for new construction and retrofit projects, both residential and commercial. It will be neat to see the winner of “retrofit in a historic home,” one of the new categories for this year. The other new category will highlight multifamily developments.

The news release also says a special award will be given to a nominee that’s made an impact with solar energy, to coincide with the Department of Energy designating San Antonio a Solar America City.
